SERIES INFORMATION · Delaware and Rutgers have previously faced off just twice in women’s basketball history with both meetings coming in postseason play. · The Hens defeated the Scarlet Knights, 97-56, on March 12, 1976 in the EAIAW Regionals. The following season, No. 8 RU edged UD, 78-75, in the EAIAW Regionals on March 11, 1977.

THE COACHES · UD head coach Tina Martin is in her 18th season with Delaware and currently holds a 361-191 (.654) all-time record. She is the active winningest coach in the CAA. · Martin has never faced Rutgers. · Martin has garnered three conference Coach of the Year awards and led the Hens to 10 post-season appearances. · A Hall of Famer, C. Vivian Stringer is in her 19th season at Rutgers and 43rd season overall as a head coach. · Stringer has compiled a remarkable overall record of 923-341 (.730), which ranks third on the Division I women’s victories list and second among active coaches. In 2013, Stringer became just the seventh coach – men’s or women’s – to reach the 900-win mark and her 32 20-win seasons are second-best in women’s basketball history. · Stringer is 4-2 all-time vs. Delaware as she faced the Hens when she was the head coach at Cheyney State during the 1970s.
